I'm a few days late on this one, but <A HREF="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/10/hands-on-with-wow-the-burning-crusade/">Joystiq also has a preview up</a>. It's extremely brief, but pictures speak louder than words. While there is not much text, there are a ton of digicam pictures and there is some decent info on racial abilities (i.e. *all* the Blood Elf racials, not just the two spells) and a few different areas in Azeroth (map of Ghostlands for example). Check it out.

Blood elves are neutral to everyone, great, at least that they didnÂ´t miss.

I bet they are friendly w/ the Forsaken (which is strangely absent)

Yeah, youÂ´re right, weird....

And whatÂ´s that faction that heÂ´s selecting? A new one?

That is a new town. I think in Ghostlands. I'm not sure why it's a faction, but IGN I think (or Gamespy?) briefly mentions it in their preview.

The first map is clearly not Hellfire Peninsula but it shows Silvermoon city on it. You can see when you look at the other map on joystiq site, which is Ghostlands. The top part of that map matches with the bottom of the labeled "Hellfire Peninsula" shot.
